Embrace the shadows to explore themes of grief, war, generational conflict, and cycles of violence.
The 4th Witch is a feature-length inversion of Shakespeare’s Macbeth created and performed by a celebrated Chicago-based company known for captivating live cinematic experiences. Told through shadow puppetry, actors in silhouette, and live music (without dialogue or narration), The 4th Witch begins on the eve of an invasion of a small town by the local warlord—Macbeth. A girl flees the invading army and escapes into the nearby forest. There, she is rescued by and apprenticed to three witches. Will she choose vengeance or reconciliation?
